I suspect, the problem lies in the limit computation.

Ralf

(1) -> i := integrate(exp(-a^2*x^2),x)::Expression(Integer)

                    +--+
         +---+      | 2
        \|%pi erf(x\|a  )
   (1)  -----------------
                +--+
                | 2
             2 \|a
                                                    Type:
Expression(Integer)
(2) -> limit(erf(x),x=%plusInfinity)

   (2)  1
                      Type:
Union(OrderedCompletion(Expression(Integer)),...)
(3) -> limit(erf(sqrt(a^2)*x),x=%plusInfinity)

   (3)  "failed"
                                                    Type:
Union("failed",...)
